Where the Ship sails
Greenbird Smashes Record
The Greenbird is a high tech combination of racing yacht, aeroplane and Formula 1 racing car design and technology. Lightweight, low friction and minimized aerodynamic drag are the secret ingredients behind the world record. The entire structure is made from carbon-fiber which has the high stiffness and strength required to transfer the wind loads on the Greenbird vertical sail, into traction forces on the ground. The suspension allows some compliance between the vehicle and the rough dry-lake surface; otherwise it would be difficult to control.
Mercedes Roadster F-CELL
Looking like a cross between a modern Mercedes-Benz and an old fashion roadster, the Daimler AG trainees at the Sindelfingen Mercedes-Benz plant have built a good-looking vehicle using a hydrogen powered fuel cell with zero emissions.

Robot Snow Shovel
I-Shovel is an autonomous robotic snow shovel that automatically detects the snow accumulation and clears the driveway. The device uses a built-in computer to control the shoveling process and various sensors to ascertain the perimeter.
The I-Shovel is designed to “wake up” and shovel snow whenever it senses a reasonable accumulation of snow so you can wake up to a cleared driveway.
The shoveling mechanism has a relatively low power consumption (operates on batteries) and no dangerous moving parts, enabling it to operate unattended or when kids are playing in the snow.
Seawater Vertical Farm
To deal with the lack of fresh water in Dubai and other Arabian nations, Italian architectural firm Studiomobile created the Seawater Vertical Farm to cool and humidify greenhouses. This innovative concept produces adequate humidity to convert seawater into fresh water, necessary for irrigation.
The AIRPOD !
Forget fossil fuels and even biodiesel, instead the new fuel making waves at the 2009 Geneva International Auto Show is air.
The bridge length of 25 kilometers
This is a bridge connecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Bahrain.
Bahrain – an island state, and this is the only overland route to it. The bridge -25 km. Middle of the bridge is an island on which the border between two states, it is also a customs and passport control.
